:help:

So this is my first time posting, and I'm new to this forum, so bear with me. I'm hoping someone can help me with this new glitch I'm experiencing!

I own a 2010 GMC Terrain SLT-2 & love almost every bit of it. I've owned it since April 2010, but within the past 2 months I've been encountering glitches that involve the navigation and for the life of me I can't figure out how to fix it.

The following are the issues I'm experiencing (which I have never experienced prior to the last 2 months):

First off, I have to hit AGREE every time I press the nav button after turning my car on. Originally, I would have to agree appx once a month or so which was no problem at all, but every time is a bit too much.

When I click destination, the state defaults to Washington, DC. I change it to california, but after I turn the car off, it resets back to DC.

I can be playing my ipod via USB, but after I turn the car off and then back on, it automatically tunes to my radio. It used to, without fail turn on to AM EVERY TIME I would turn my car on, but now FM sometimes too. Originally, it would continue playing my ipod from the point of the song when the car turned off.

Lastly, after hitting agree and viewing my nav, it takes about 2-3 minutes to calibrate itself to figure out where I am. This was NEVER an issue during the first year of the car. Now when I turn it on, it pretty much loses it's sense of direction. For instance, I'll travel east, and the navigation will move but go North, so it looks like I'm off-roading. It usually calibrates itself within a couples minutes.

Those are the main issues I'm experiencing with my nav. I don't know if I have a glitchy unit, or if some other people have the same problem. Regardless, I'm hoping someone can reach out who might be able to help.

Thank You!

Just dropped off my 2010 Terrain for the third time to address the same issues you are experiencing and more. In fact many listed in MOCHANOX's post I've experienced. The bulletin worked for a day. Take it to your dealer and demand the system be replaced. That's what will be happening to mine tomorrow. Hopefully that will solve the issue. Don't let the dealer talk you into leaving the car for hours while they fart around with it.

I would also have to recommend taking the vehicle in to your local dealership. Please keep us posted. Thank you in advance.

Tricia, GM Customer Serivce.

I am glad to hear that you are working with the dealer regarding this concern. Please contact me and let me know how it works out at this visit. Thank you in advance.

So I have an update.

I took my car to the dealership and told them all the problems with the Nav. I also showed them the info below (thanks Mochanox). They applied the update on Friday. Everything worked perfect.

Fast forward to today (Saturday, 1 day later). I'm getting in my car and I have to hit agree! It popped up right when the car was turned on. I thought maybe it's a fluke. I click agree and then hit destination. IT RESET BACK TO WASHINGTON DC!!!! You've got to be kidding me.

I don't know what to do! Whatever they did, the music and ipod situation is now fixed, but I still have to hit agree and my default state changed!

Do I have a bad navigation unit, should I demand it be replaced like Vallew said. He was right saying it will only work for a day...

Please advise!

I am also having many of these same issues...The Washington DC thing..When I turn the radio off after using when I start it back up its on scanning usb stick or not on the channel I originally had it on...It took me 3 times to instill in the Managers head that there was sum kinda fix..a Bulletin...He seems to think it all started when my car was towed to dealer because the car would not start(Bad Battery) which he finally found in his puter notes..I am taking it in tommorrow to see if they can do anything..Bad part is you cannot always recreate the situations that you see..Sometimes it does it..sometimes it does not..but the Washington DC thing always happens..I go to Address entry and it always say Washington DC..Stwitch it to New York and its Washington DC for next Address Entry..I am Retired but hate screwing around for hrs especially if they cannot fix..Unit was over $2000..if not fixable order me a new one..We will have to see what transpires.....One thing has always been it seems..They are fast to take your money but oh so slow to remedy the situation..... Disappointed 2010 Terrain Owner :shrug:

Well I took my 2010 Terrain into my GMC Dealer yesterday and it took almost 3 hrs to download the software upgrade mentioned here..They knew about it as about 6 other owners had the same problem..Washington DC problem..memory problems in Pioneer stereo etc..I can say Mission accomplished..Everything working tip top now..So glad I belong to this Forum..Thanks for everybodys imput and information..So far now a satisfied 2010 Terrain owner...

 

[fullcourt]

there are a few other threads about this issue. makes interesting reading.
I have the update done twice, the first one did not take due to a glitch. Everything worked for awhile, then symptoms started coming back. When I finally lost bluetooth, then I took it back to the dealer. I talked to the service manager and tech guy, who looks exactly like you would think that a "tech guy" should look like: young, scruffy beard, I felt like he was cast in a movie.
They said that the radio/nav is now a tagged part and they need to keep the car to get on the horn with Detroit to go over check points, it takes hours. I did not leave it, said I will be back the next day, then bluetooth started working, so I still have it, but Wash DC and Agree Screen is there every time still. I would bet that GM is not happy with Pioneer/Alpine, these units were expensive and their problems are why the GM and Ford have slipped in cust satisfaction. :-\

 

[nitti48]

Well all I can say is so far so good...I am hoping why it took so long to download the software update that it so called took and no glitches..The mem problems drove me nuts cause sometimes the sound was set ok on Sirius then if when i started the car it went to usb stick and the sound was amped up due to radio..songs on HDD and USB were all differnt levels..The Washing DC and I agree were annoying but I could probably live with them..Said mine was partly due to when I had a dead bad battery but a new unit would prob not solve the problem..We shall see what transpires.. :thumb:

This is a very informative thread. I'm glad I came across this as I have been experiencing the same problems! Namely:

When the car is shut down:
The state defaults back to Wash DC
All saved nav locations are lost (and old ones are reverted back to existence)
Audio defaults back to Radio
The GPS takes a good 3-4 minutes to calibrate (which is a huge pain while house-hunting and trying to go from one house to another)

I plan to print out this thread and bring it in to my local dealer as proof that there is a problem, and often it is a recurring problem in an attempt to get them to replace my unit straight-away. I really don't have the freedom to spend more than an hour of my life in a dealership.

I am also wondering if the GMC Service Rep that is monitoring this thread (Michelle) has any other suggestions.

Thanks all.

 

[nitti48]

let us know how you made out at your dealer...

 

[DavidPJ]

I had the NAV software upgraded last week due to the frequent I agree screen and Washington default. Since then only once has the I Agree screen appeared and the Washington default problem has not reappeared. As nitti48 said, the software upgrade takes quite awhile (nearly 2-1/2 hours for mine).

Had mine uipgraded yesterday, the Washington DC issue has been fixed, and the other bugs, only issue is that my iphone won't been seen, but i am going to remove a bunch stuff from the iphonbe and see what happens...

I've had the same problem and frustration for almost a year now (I've 2010 Terrain with NAV)
- Had to agree to terms every time I want to use NAV
- NAV defaults to Washington DC
- Audio source mix up, never goes back to where I left it upon engine off & on.
- Clock off by an hour. I correct it, but it reverts upon engine off & on. This has been painful to explain to every person that sits in my car.
- I no longer able to save NAV locations nor can I delete saved ones.
- To top it all off, I cannot pump fuel hands free. I've had to stand outside holding the nozzle even on rainy days to get fuel.

I've taken the car to the dealer 3 times. So far, they only succeeded fixing the clock. I was also told by the dealer the fuel pump is working as designed, which I do not believe. For the Nav, they wanted to keep the car up to a week, which I haven't done so far...

What should I do now?

Thanks

Take it to a real dealer (meaning...another one)
